2018

TT 2018 begins tomorrow and as per usual as the TT comes along the recent good weather ..... off and leaves us with a patchy looking practice week ahead of us with dodgy conditions due to run into race week according to the long range weather forecast. :mad:

I thought rather than the fragmented discussion for silly season that's going on we could have one thread Off the top of my head. Will update when needed. Confirmed Marquez - Honda Rossi - Yamaha Vinales - Yamaha Dovi - Ducati Rins - Suzuki Zarco - KTM Pol - KTM Oliveira - Tech 3 KTM...

Third win in a row by Marc, and another race where people elsewhere is complaining about boring races... seems like the "most exciting motorsport" has gone the path of F1, but why? what caused this sudden change? is it related to the fact that hard-fought battles between riders are now forbidden...

For everyone bored senseless by the Rossi/Cal/Marc is a .... debates... First practice was yesterday with results here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/northern-ireland/44125940 More practice tomorrow afternoon followed by Supersport race 1, Superstock race 1 and Supertwin race 1 in the...

Another grand prix and another thread to potentially get ....... up. The possibilities are endless. MM working on 2 wins in a row which should have been 3 in a row had it not been for spineless Dorna Direction acquiescing to Rossi's ......... But what's done is done. The Yamaha's did well here...

Another manic season with the youngsters loaded with talent, desire and bravado. Aron Canet for me. Yee haa!

Finally the off season is over and we can stop bickering. Oh wait. Finally the season is here and we can bicker about current racing. ..... The season is here let the ..... fest commence. No reason to start predicting now. The main three bikes, ducati honda and yamaha all had good...

What might have been had Nicky gone from factory Ducati GP to factory Ducati Wsbk. Sigh. I can't watch this .... and not constantly think about Nicky. Honda's participation in Wsbk is criminal. .... Honda. Congrats to Melandri. Taking that free ride with Ducati was the best decision to revive...

Wow - So it's happening them! https://www.yamahamotogp.com/news/22-02-2018-tech3-and-yamaha-to-part-ways-for-2019 Herve says that he was made an offer for 2019 that he couldn't turn down. "To summarize 20 years of an incredible partnership between Tech3 and Yamaha in a few words is a very...

MotoGP? Good for Herve, he beat Yamaha yo the punch . He has an exciting new deal that will be announced soon, says he got the one thing he has been seeking since he joined the circus. Any speculation on what that might be.

Remember... .... on the internet comes back to haunt you. I've posted a smattering from 2007 and 2008. Curve - Marco is gonna hand Stoner his ... in 08. Lex - I have a feeling this race is going to be a circus. (9.3-07) RCV600RR - I have a feeling this race is going to be a circus...

Looks a good year for KTM and hopefully (at least as far as I'm concerned) a title for Miguel and Brad 2nd, then if they stay 1 more year swap rolls, before kicking the KTM riders in the premier class onto the rubbish heap.

I'm sitting here half rummed. Watching : Hitting the apex. Just got to Marco at sepang. Makes me think. Still brings a tear to my eye. 7 years on. Marco was like a mate. It hurt to lose him. Really hurt, i grieved. Same for Tomizawa, Kato and luis Salom. There are countless more, but i...

Tech3 have just announced that Folger is not recovered enough to compete in the 2018 season, shocker. https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/folger-will-not-race-in-2018-due-to-illness-996760/ So, who will replace him? Anyone worthwhile in GP or the lower categories will already be signed...

Watch this!

Watch this!

When and where is the best place to get tickets? cheers in advance!:good:

With the 2018 season just around the corner, and while MotoGP is off, thought I would start a poll to see who everyone is predicting to win the 450 championship this season. With Dungee retiring there is no returning champion this season, so who's it going to be???

I am looking for some advice. I have never been to a MotoGP race although watch plenty on TV. I am planning to go to one in 2018, with some of my friends. I am hoping someone can advise which circuit is a good one to go to? Obviously I am going to be looking for somewhere with easy access to...
